They are gilded steps up
And that set you aloft
They shove you with potency
While you trip into their onslaught
They are a refuge
And a knitted throw
They are a tightrope
And your heart’s overflow
They are destructive
And hilarious
They are powerful
When whispered, roared, or a variance
They can cut deep
Or cause a snicker in fours
They are a lighted hearth
Or a knife in a triplet or more
They can be dammed
Though their power does not dissipate
They can be planned and bungled
Or spontaneous and unfortunate
They can captivate
When set on notes
They can sing to your psyche
And dig motes
They form ideas
And beget change
They can paint a picture
And hang the frame
They are life-changing and sustaining
While explaining life and love
They are shifting, rearranging
They will always and never be enough
Submit to Us
Submit to us
Your longtime friends
Crept in in the gaps
Seeped through the pores
Established deep
Submit to us
How long we’ve stayed
Though you try to push us away
Close by your side
Inside we kept
Submit to us
When others approach
With lips of laughter
Cling to us
Don’t slip away
Submit to us
From the back of your prayers
Lining your throat of song
Devotion
Hope
Submit to us
Come to bed
Whispers in your ears
Tumbles in the sheets
Tumult in your dreams
Submit to us
Though you push
And drink forgetfulness
And swallow paralysis
And cope unsuccessfully
Submit to the dusk
Submit to the fragmented
Submit to the forces
Submit to the fixations
Submit to us
